What test is there for bird flu? What methodology? What swab do they jab up the chicken’s nose? Since airborne viruses die in sunlight and fresh air, how do birds infect each other? Are other birds getting the flu?

"PCR for Influenza A and H5 virus." https://www.aphis.usda.gov/sites/default/files/recommendations-hpai-livestock.pdf

Problem is they have never isolated the alleged virus to begin with, so how do they have an accurate sequence to test for? If I said a virus was the letter A, and tested the dictionary for it, would you believe the dictionary was contaminated with viruses?

Thank you Sayini. I'm still planning to write a larger article about influenza and gain of function that I would like you to review or respond to. It's in a rough draft now, but as you can see I like to reference things. :)
